Looks like a nice subby!

What sort of power does it put out?
And how much does the block weigh?

Hi Adam, in standard form the engine makes 70ps@6200rpm and 90nm @3500rpm which isn't to bad considering it is tuned for economy.I have triumph triple throttle bodies and megasquirt and free flowing exhaust. Engine and gearbox is 50lbs lighter then A series as it is all aluminium.

Hi Smac, engine is offset so l don't have to modify the standard 62 mini body(inner guards), I am hoping it doesn't have to much torque steer.Matt can you tell me the year of that suzuki

I'm not familiar with the K10b engines, I'm pretty sure Matts is a Suzuki Hatch (same as mighty boy) F8A engine I think they are a 550cc and their is also a 800cc version but I can't remember the engine code. Time to go to wikipedia...

Thanks Kennomini, the K10b is from 2010 suzuki alto with 5 speed box which is similar to the swift box l think.

F5A — 543 cc Mighty boy & Suzuki hatch
F5B — 547 cc
F6A — 657 cc
F8B — 796 cc Suzuki 800 (hatch)
K6A — 658 cc
K10B — 998 cc
Can't find a lot of info on wiki about the engines power out puts. The only issue I can see is the K10B is out of a 2009 model car (correct?), this will give you grief with emissions and safety features with the ADR's are looked at....Hope I'm wrong so this conversion is easier, it looks so good.
More info on your conversion would be awesome.
Also where are you located?

Kennomini l live in Bendigo and as far as the ADR's go l have a couple of options. The sub frame has been ready for 18 months as the body has just been painted and ready for assembly.

Matt,

You might as well donate it to a good cause - me!!! (sub-1000cc hillclimber - forced induction of course!!)

Cheers,
Tricky

Wow what a great conversion. I have a Daihatsu Handivan 3 cyl 850cc as my to and from work car and its a hoot to drive. So willing to rev and go, not particularly quick just fun to drive, so this engine with more power should be great. I've thought about the Suzuki F6a, 660cc turbo, a few times. I love the offbeat nature of a 3cyl engine.
In your other post you said you have a couple of options regarding ADRs and getting it complied I assume. Could you elaborate on this cause I'm interested in this whole thing.
